Our aim is to help young people achieve sustainable paid employment by equipping them with skills they need for work.
Intern Information
​
We know many young adults with learning disabilities
and autism would like the opportunity to work.
​
HS4LC are offering three routes to employment for young
adults with learning disabilities and autism. People
with learning disabilities typically take longer to learn
new tasks but with the right support they can overcome
their difficulties and have a better chance of gaining
paid employment.
Find out more below about the three different routes to
employment programmes we will be running from September
2019.
​
First Steps
Are you wanting to build up your work skills and experience alongside your college programme and
do you have access to personal budget or PIP?
This part-time programme is for young adults (16 - 24yrs) with learning difficulties or autism who are enrolled on a college course but looking for something extra to do on the days they are not in college.
The programme is flexible depending on need but could include working on one of our enterprise projects alongside one day in a work placement and access to our gym!
​
​
Skills Bridge Supported Internship
Are you in your final year at college and feel ready for employment but not sure you have the skills and
experience to do it on your own?
On the Skills Bridge programme interns will be supported by a job coach in a long term work placement. Alongside this will be the opportunity to further build work skills on one of our enterprise projects, increase
fitness in the gym and prepare for adulthood through independence in travel and life skills.
This full time programme is for young adults (18 - 24yrs) with an Educat ion Health and Care Plan (EHCP) who have completed college or sixth form and now want to take steps towards achieving permanent paid employment.

SEA Change is a fully flexible programme that is tailored to meet the needs of the participant. The only requirement is that you have the drive and ambition to achieve permanent paid employment.
